like this will change ANYthing….this team has major, major issues this season. it’s june and our “hitters’ are sitting. that’s a problem – and this problem is here to stay. i’m taking a break from this team for a while…until, i don’t know what happens. they’re immature, they lack confidence, lou looks like he’s sleeping in the dugout each night, and our “hitters” are sitting. this is going to worse before it gets better. in years passed the cubs were always good for a 10-15 game surge, maybe even an 8 game winning streak…but not this year. they don’t get “it” this year…no continuity, no chemistry, no togetherness, and nobody is accountable. it’s miserable to see, b/c i really am a fan of chicago and the north siders. something’s gotta give, and quick or else we’re all going to have to stomach the red legs along with the cards, and that’s just plain sad. that is all. thanks carrie for all you do, i enjoy reading your posts and appreciate all of your hard work. keep it up.

i am a cubs fan but right now i hate them with a passion… no one even cares what happens… where is lou’s blow rant? light a fire under their *** lou!!! Where’s Hendry? He should be shopping around players to see what we can freaking get or we might as well forget it…. unbelievable… stupid cubs!!
